Ok. So here is something revolutionary.
Free up "Perl 6" for a future generation of Perl 5 and remove the ceiling
on the perl 5 language. Perl 6 has become more than a major iteration,
hasn't it?
Perl on parrot
Perl on jam
Perl on mono
Lots of space for a five from six once you vacate the lot.
Thought the conversation felt like bikeshedding but... My point still
stands. This is a new language targetted at a post php world. The
significance of a version number will be lost outside the perl echo chamber
and in that context seen as baggage... IMHO... YMMV...

Well, for what it's worth, as an outsider - IMHO, leaving "perl" behinds a
good thing. Love it or loath it, we live in a js/python/jvm leaning world.
Perl was great, but it's dated. Why have the baggage? Rakudo is a new
language. Treat it as such - best hope for it. In layman's terms an
informal "P

also maintain perls reputation for generous use of squiggles.

I think James Bowery's comments are intended to address a real need for
programming languages to work with units of measurement. It might even
prevent aircraft accidents which have really happened because fuel was

Have a read of this:
http://www.parrot.org/
The parrot project is to build a virtual machine for dynamic languages, like
perl 6.

Hi,
I've got parrot 1.7 and the October release of rakudo. After a bit of
fettling, mostly down to my lack of concentration, I got "perl6" up and
running, and was able to get a tad of code running.
I came into problems when trying to get http::deamon installed. It doesn't
seem at all happy instal

Without wanting to sound too stupid - why not delegate the decision to a
